barrysloateI know the general value of most cards, and certainly know which ones are tougher than others. But sets seem to get hot overnight and it's hard to keep up.
Today I was writing up some lots for my next auction and one of them was a T206 Miller Huggins with an upside down back! Now how in the world could I tell you what the added premium will be because the back was inverted? I have no idea. I suppose, as you say, the guy who sets up at every show selling more or less the same things would know the market pretty well, but the vintage market is so diverse with so many rare cards and obscure variations that it just isn't always that easy.
